Reading is no longer about flipping pages and making sure the light is switched on when in the night. Now, everything is about ebooks. With the abundance of tablets in the market, the reading platform reaches further and further.
The bigger question is, which tablets are able to offer the ultimate reading experience. GoodeReader has done a unique comparison of the Amazon Kindle DX and the iPad Air.
Both devices offer a 9.7” display that operates differently with each other. The Kindle DX in particular is built with e Ink display. This means that the eyes won’t be stressed out after long hours of reading. It also offers a resolution of 1200x824p which is adequate for reading materials.
On the downside, the DX is not a touchscreen device. Users have to manually toggle the DPad to operate it.
This isn’t the case with the iPad Air which is amazing in many ways. The 2048x1536p resolution ensures that none of the text are pixelated, even when zoomed in. Also, the ability to pinch zoom and swipe is certainly a major convenient to the users. The cons to the iPad Air is with its humongous price tag.
You can check out the reading quality on both devices in the comparison video below. While the DX might not be as great as the iPad Air, it is certainly a value for money device built with readers in mind.
